Comets – Page 7 – Willowbank School, Kilmarnock

Hello Comets family and happy new year!

We are all missing you in school and hope it won’t be long until we see you again. We are sad that the start of the year is looking a little different to what we had planned.

We will be checking in each week with fun activities that can be completed from home. You can do these tasks in your own time and pace, there is no pressure to complete them all. In addition to this home learning packs can be requested. We would love to see some of the things you are getting up to at home and if you would like to share these you can email me on kirsty.robertson@eastayrshire.org.uk.

Suggested activities for the week beginning 11^th of January can be found HERE.

In the meantime, I look forward to hearing from you all and I hope the first day of home learning is going well.

A Comet Class Catch Up

Apologies for the lack of a comet class blogs this term, the technology had been failing us! Now that everything is working I would like to catch you up on what Comet class has been busy doing so far this year.

James and the Giant Peach

Our class theme for the first term was James and the Giant Peach. The class loved hearing about James and all his insect friends as they travelled across the world. Matching the characters, making a giant peach, creating our own ‘green things recipe, researching New York and acting out our story were just a few of the activities we have done.

Science

We have been doing lots of fun (and messy) science experiments this term. We have blown up balloons with carbon dioxide, made clouds in a bottle, dropped eggs without them smashing (sometimes) and made wind dials. These experiments have been lots of fun and we will keep doing them all year.

Cookery

Comet class has been very busy in the cookery room this year, making a variety of different food and drinks. This term we have made rice crispy cakes, burgers, fruit salads, milkshakes and scrambled eggs.

I hope this has caught you up on some of the activities we have been doing in Comet Class. Check back for weekly blogs!
